1. **State the problem:** We have a regular polygon with 12 sides (a dodecagon). One interior angle is given as $23x - 11$ degrees.
2. **Find the sum of the interior angles:** The formula for the sum of interior angles of a polygon with $n$ sides is:
$$\text{Sum} = (n - 2) \times 180$$
For $n=12$:
$$\text{Sum} = (12 - 2) \times 180 = 10 \times 180 = 1800$$ degrees.
3. **Find the measure of one interior angle:** Since the polygon is regular, all interior angles are equal. So each interior angle is:
$$\frac{1800}{12} = 150$$ degrees.
4. **Set up the equation to find $x$:** Given one interior angle is $23x - 11$, set equal to 150:
$$23x - 11 = 150$$
5. **Solve for $x$:**
$$23x = 150 + 11$$
$$23x = 161$$
$$x = \frac{161}{23}$$
Show cancellation:
$$x = \frac{\cancel{161}}{\cancel{23}}$$
Since 161 and 23 have no common factors other than 1, the fraction is simplified as is.
6. **Final answer:**
$$x = \frac{161}{23} \approx 7$$
**Summary:**
- Sum of interior angles: 1800 degrees
- Each interior angle: 150 degrees
- Value of $x$: $\frac{161}{23}$
